On Channel Transforms to Enhance Reciprocity and Quantization in Physical-Layer Secret Key Generation by Ghalib Hussain, Syed Junaid Nawaz, Shurjeel Wyne, Mohammad N. Patwary

“…Ensuring reliable and secure communications in the increasingly pervasive beyond <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$5{^{\text {th}}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> generation (B5G) wireless networks is one of the key research challenges. Within the physical layer security (PLS) paradigm, the secret key generation (SKG) technique exploits the wireless channel&#x2019;s randomness to generate symmetric secret keys for message encryption/decryption by legitimate communication nodes. …”

IoT security approach based random distribution of communication frequency by Manga Tonga V Joseph Salomon, Mpoh Lobe Henri Pascal-Will, Malong Yannick, Maka Maka Ebenezer, Ihonock Eyembe Luc, Essiben Dikoundou Jean-François, Paul-Marie Moulema Douala, Yong Suk Joe

“…The performance achieved is promising for secure and efficient data transmission applications. • The concentrate on the vulnerabilities that arise in the network of IoT systems at the physical layer • We propose a method to close this security gap by using a random allocation of communication frequency between LoRa cards. • The results show that the coexistence between IoT is possible and the random allocation of communication frequencies introduced less than a second in transmission and reception of packets.…”
